A simplified version of a novel by Arthur C. Clarke. In the year 2131, a fast-moving object is detected heading for Earth. Not a dead lump of rock but a huge hollow cylinder spinning along a planned trajectory. Who or what built "Rama" and why? This is an intermediate-level story in a series of ELT readers comprising a wide range of titles - some original and some simplified - from modern and classic novels, and designed to appeal to all age groups, tastes and cultures. The books are divided into five levels: Starter Level, with about 300 basic words; Beginner Level (600 basic words); Elementary Level (1100); Intermediate Level (1600); and Upper Level (2200). Some of the titles are also available on cassette.

This is NOT the Arthur C. Clarke Novel
May 8 2009
By Richard B. Park
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is an abridged, re-worded, and re-phrased version of the Arthur C. Clarke novel as retold by Elizabeth Walker. This book is intended for consumption by an Elementary School audience and to that end fulfills a need. This is not what was represented in Amazon's advertising. I ordered a classic novel and got the the Classic Comic book or Cliff's notes version. The illustrations look like comic book art. Not what I expected and was very disappointed as I had to wait a month to get the book. If I'd known, I'd canceled and just have gone to our public library.

Beware! This is not the actual book.

I haven't read this - I don't know how good it is. All I know is that this is not the original novel. It is an abridged version for children. I feel stupid having wasted money on it. They should really make it clear in the product description exactly what this is.

Rendezvous with Rama

I wish I had noticed that this was a Macmillan Reader. It is excellent for young readers but I wanted the version written by Arthur C. Clarke so, to a degree, I was disappointed.
